Hi everyone, today I'm on As We stumble along with a post I'm sure you're going to love! As you know i'm trying to change my skin care routine and I've been using natural based products, but not only that I've also been making my own scrubs for a while using products I have at home and I LOVE them, they are super easy to do and I save a little bit of money!

There are tons of different recipes to make homemade scrubs but today I'm sharing with you three recipes to make facial scrubs for oily, regular and dry skin plus a little surprise that is going to be very useful!!

During our mid-twenties it is usually time to start getting more serious about our skin care routine. At 25, Skin-repair replacement mechanisms begin to slow and even when our skin probably look their best at this moment a little bit of help right now will determine how the skin looks later on.

This is the perfect time to start using products with antioxidants to prevent fine lines or dark spots from sun damage likeOZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum

This serum is a combination of 20% vitamin C and 5% vegan hyaluronic acid, and it is considered one of the more effective anti aging products since it helps to leave your more youthful looking by neutralizing free radicals, stimulate collagen,reduce fine lines and wrinkles and even skin tone.

Vitamin C serums has become very popular because of their "miracle effects" so I decided to do a little research about it and I found that some studies have shown that topical vitamin C helps provide antioxidant protection, shielding skin from damaging free radicals(molecules that promote premature aging). When used mixed with other antioxidants or in high concentrations like 15% or 20% it helps create younger, firmer skin and fading signs of sun damage or post-acne marks (Source)

Lately we can see more and more natural based products and this one is not the exception, OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum is a 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free. Another feature I like it's that the bottle has a dropper in the cap so it's easier to take only the product you need and avoid wasting it or contaminate the serum by dipping your fingers in it. The dark bottle prevent the serum to deteriorates but it's highly recommended to keep the bottle closed and not exposed to the sun since air and light exposure oxidize the ascorbic acid quicker (vitamin C).

The manufacturer recommend to use it once a day and I couldn't agree more because it can be a little bit "hard", actually using vitamin C products can cause dryness some times that is why in my opinion it's better to use a moisturizer after. When I applied it I felt a menthol sensation, so I would recommend to avoid the eye area since it can cause a burning feeling.

Overall this is a good product, I saw results after a couple days using it, specially for lighten dark spots and brighten the skin and prevent breakouts which I constantly have. Also my boyfriend's mom tested it and she says she immediately feel a firming sensation specially on the neck area and over the days it has been reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

It has been a while since I share my playlists with you, I don't know if you missed it but I do. I wanted to be innovative and I use spotify this time but for all those don't have an spotify account I made the playlist in youtube too. Enjoy!

The brow expressis a brow powder duo to fill and define your eyebrows, it is available in two shades: light/medium and medium/dark so you can blend both colors of the duo and create your perfect match. FYI, I have it in medium/dark and the other duo is suited for girls with lighter hair or skin color.​

Every brow expressincludes a mini angle brush to apply the product and a spooly to help tame your brows before, If you have wild brows like me you will find this feature really useful. Besides who doesn't love all in one products? And this is a complete set, for only $4.99 it is a bargain! ​

Those little cuties above are called the dramatic dip. These loose eye shadows are available on 10 different shades for $5.49 each one. I received three different colors and I like that they are very bright and shinny but the texture is a little bit dusty unless you applied them wet, then they goes smooth and the colors become brighter also.​

From left to right these are the colors meteor strike (copper brown), cyclone (purple) and frostbite (white). I love frostbite white because it is really shinny the perfect color to apply on the inner corner of the eye to highlight the area and make your eyes look bigger.

Loose eye shadows are great because they usually are very pigmented and they are awesome to create dramatic looks but at the same time they are hard to apply without doing a mess all around. Well what I like the most aboutthe dramatic dipthat it have their own applicator build in the cap that provides the right amount of product in each dip so you don't have to worry for the messy application anymore.

You can get any of these products online on www.styli-style.comthey have FREE shipping in orders over$25 and 25%off in your first order when you subscribe to their newsletter. Currently they only have shipping to the USA and they are available in any sally beauty supply in Mexico.

Stay tuned for the third part of these series where I'm going to talk about those awesome lipsticks above!

I've noticed that most of the people usually cares about facial care and don't even think about hands care which is also very important. Somebody told me once that if you want to know the actual age of a woman just have to look her hands, see why i'm telling you it is important? So it is worthless use million facial treatments to look younger if the appearance of our hands hands betray us.

That is why hand cream is one of the 3 things I always have in my purse, besides what I told you for me there is not worst sensation than dehydrated hands and i'm always trying different products, so when i know about Vita SciencesMaxasorb Vitamin B12 cream I immediately wanted to try it and write my review.

Vita SciencesMaxasorb Vitamin B12 cream is a light serum made with natural ingredients like jojoba juice and coconut oil that helps hydrate the skin. I was really impressed with this cream because it absorbs into the skin really fast and this is great because it's terrible when you meet somebody on the street seconds after apply cream on your hands and you have to shake hands with that person with you hands all sticky and creamy (i swear it did't happen to me... maybe) but seriously after aplying this cream i can't feel anything but my hands super soft.I also like the little bottle of Vita SciencesMaxasorb Vitamin B12 cream because it is small enough to carry on the purse (a big purse of course) and the bottle has a dispenser which is great to avoid wasting the product, since two pumps is all you need for both hands and if you apply it once a day there is enough product for an entire month!

The only thing I don't like about this product it is the price $19.95 + shipping seems a little bit too much for me, but if you subscribe to the page you get 10% off in any product plus free shipping.I think if we usually spends tons of money on facial care products we definitely should considering invest on a great hand cream too and to be honest i've never tried anything like this before, and it totally worth it!

I didn't know the importance of probiotics did for our digestive system and our health until I discoverhyperbiotics and they gave me the chance to try one of their products: Hyperbiotics PRO-15,that is when I decide to read about it and found some interesting facts.

Inside our gastrointestinal track we have almost 90% bacteria in which some of them are "good" and help us in many ways: to absorb the nutrients from the food, improving our immune system, having better digestion and avoiding constipation and other stomach sickness, etc. Some studies show that gut microflora may improve your metabolism and accelerate fat loss.

A healthy gut is full of "good bacteria" , however having a bad diet, the use of antibiotics and other medicines our gastrointestinal tracks are not as healthy as they should be, that's why using a probiotics supplement likeHyperbiotics PRO-15 that helps restore the beneficial bacteria and it is recommended for anyone who has been taking antibiotics for a long time, who wants to improve the digestive system functions, or people who is lactose intolerant and can't get enough probiotics from regular food.

I did my best to explain why probiotics are important for out health but if you need more information you can read this hyperbiotics article or watch this video. They explain it better!

Hyperbiotics PRO-15is a vegetarian non GMO product,it doesn't contain preservatives, chemical, sugar, flavors or artificial colors, soy, lactose, wheat, nuts or gluten so it is a great product for people with food allergies.

I really found impressive the size of the pill because it is very small and different from every other supplement or multivitamin pills I've seen before, I'm sure many people will find this as a plus.

On the other side, I've been changing a lot of my eating habits and I've been eating more than usual at food stands, restaurants , plazas and other places where the food isn't as clean as it is in our home, before it wasn't a problem for me but lately I have had a sensitive stomach, painful bloating and stomach aches. The last couple of days I've been taking my probiotics, I feel so much better and my digestive system is working better. Always a plus! That doesn't mean I'm going to have unhealthy eating habits all the time and just take probiotics to avoid the effects of it, not at all! as I always say good eating habits are the bases for being healthy.

This is what i wore to go to the baby shower of my boyfriend's best friend, which actually was very different to what i expected to be. First of all this was my first not only for women baby shower and it also was very quiet. There is no doubt that when it comes to celebrate no one better than mexicans.That day besides that I was freezing because I insisted to shoot the pictures without coat and gloves plus the hangover, lack of sleep and my hair who wanted to be in front of my face all the time I wasn't in my best picture self so I decided to cut my head off on all this photos. Don't blame me, who is in the mood for pictures at 11am on a sunday? .... Exactly!

I recently discovered Styli Style cosmetics on Twitter and after visiting their website, I fell in love with most of their products, mainly because everything looks great yet affordable, so I decided to contact them and they were kind to have sent me some of their products.

If you don't follow me on INSTAGRAM you probably miss the the styli-style perfect pout giveaway I announced over there and the picture of the new styli-style cosmetics spring collection, that's why you definitely have to follow me on there. But don't worry, i'm going to share with you a little bit of everything here!

Twist & sharp: Self sharpening lip liner it's a retractable lip liner with a little sharpener built into the cap cap so when you close it, it sharpening itself. I found this feature great since I always lost the sharpeners. For only $6.99 it's a cheaper dupe of smashbox "always sharp" lipliner ($20)

Twist & sharp: Self sharpening lip liner is available in 4 shades of red and one of pink. I got a "dark raspberry" which is a medium reddish shade and "maraschino cherry" a bright red that goes perfect with some orange color lipsticks. I absolutely love the texture of this lip liners because they are creamy and easy to apply but at the same time it stays on, not only do they last long even if you eat or drink something (fun fact: I used my boyfriend's arm as a canvas to see better the colors since he has fair skin, and even when after he took a shower the little lines were still there, so believe me when i say they're REALLY long lasting)

I also got two "the stylus" liquid eye liners and at the beginning I was skeptical because I've never liked those type of pencil eyeliners but these are something different and I really like them! "the sylus" is a fast drying, water resistant, long lasting eye liner, but what I like the most was its fine point great to create a fine and sharp eye wing that looks like if you had used liquid liner.

The stylus was launched last year in black and this spring they released three more colors: marina blue, jaded green and dark chocolate. You can get it for only $8.49 making it a great cheaper alternative of the Stila "Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner"

You can get any product of Styli-Style by purchasing through their website, at this moment they only have shippings to USA but if you live in Mexico you can find their products at any sally beauty supply.

For more information about styli-style and their products visit any of their social media accounts instagram,twitter,facebook or their website www.styli-style.com . I have to admit their support team are great and they always answer quickly.

It seems like natural based products have became very popular and everyday it is becoming more common to find new brands specialized in natural hair and skin products like Go PURE started by Erin Keyan who after becoming a mother was shocked to discover how many products contain toxic and dangerous chemical ingredients. She formulated goPURE Naturals with the goal of developing a brand that women can trust to contain only the purest and natural ingredients, while making them look and feel their best.

After about two years of learning, testing their products the brand was launched in February of 2015 and now they sell their products in their website and AMAZON store.

goPURE Youth Glow Eye Gel described as a product that Quickly reduce the appearance of under eye circles, bags or puffiness and provides noticeable results after a single use, but it also helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. They compromise to give your money back if your eyes don't look 2 years younger after just one month of consistent use!!

A couple days ago I reviewed another eye gel and to be honest this one is almost the same but a little bit cheaper.

This eye cream has gel texture and it is very light and non sticky, it has a cooling effect that really helps to reduce puffiness and made my eyes feel rested, it can be use as eye brightening because after a couple days using it reduces dark under eye circles.
